ok next step is to check the Bridge Rectifier on your board to make sure it's not shorted. You'll have to unscrew the board from the plastic bezel and flip it over to get to the rectifiers. Here's a link to that earlier thread with the photo...


BR1 is the rectifier for the 18vac input... if you look at the chip you'll see 4 pins, two on the top are labeled - and + (this is the 24 volt dc output) and the two on the bottom are ~ and ~ (this is the 18 volt ac input). set your meter to ohms and put the leads on all the pins and make sure you don't get any zero readings, flip the leads around and do it again, making sure you don't get any zero readings. there's also a video in the above thread on how to test a rectifier, and it's surely better that these instructions

I have a Swim Clear 2030 filter. There is a tiny hole drilled into the bottom of the pvc assembly piping (part #cx3030h) within the lower filter body (that connects to pool outlet). Pool repair person says it's supposed to have this tiny hole. What does it do?

I do not know what hole you are referring to. Can you attach a picture of the hole so I can give you a better answer?

Just did my sundown test. FC is now 10.5
CC down to .5 from 1

Will test again in am and report

The best schematics we have for various modules Hayward uses are in Hayward Aquarite SWG - Further Reading

It can double as a CYA sock if you only need a wee bit.

Ooh, I'd have to let my grandkids pick which one to use.....

So you're telling me I have a chance?

I probably should mention, when I just took it apart, the oring around the attachment that covers all 4 filters seems jacked up too maybe it's looking pressure there.

Absolutely.

Waters pretty clear now. What about running the robot ?

Just leave one less-loved in-law off the invite list and you've paid for the kit.

Pressure end up between 10 and 20 when operating at the highest speed. I have a 4 speed variable pump that is a maxflo vs 500 and the filter is a Hayward c3030.

That would make life easier for sure. Thank you for that idea!

Thanks. I actually saw that.

Yep. But it seems that the booster pump supply T off my main return might be underground. I was hoping somebody here might have an idea why that was done or how far down it might be.

There is no guessing what crazy plumbers do.

Dig down with a spade and you should find it.

Good move to get a SWCG now. Remember, the SWCG should be rated 2x your pool volume. So if you have a 20k gal pool, get a SWCG rated for 40k gallons.

Start a a thread in the SWCG section to get additional advice.

Filter model number?

The cell needs to be the last thing before the pool but, for example, mine is before my in-floor cleaning control head. You want it after things like a heater or a chiller, after the filter of course, etc.

Here's the cheat sheet :




And have another read with the Slam article. It just got updated and has a printable checklist now. You might be the first to use it if you hurry. Maybe even win a toaster.

I knew I could count on some fun answers. Thanks all. I will probably just go with polycarbonate as I've not found any complaints of them fogging in my searches here. I wasn't worried about the glass (I did think about it) since my equipment is behind a block wall from the pool, and I can't remember if I've ever had my pump basket open when I was working on or cleaning the filter. I just want to not have a foggy lens again in a couple of years. I will also be adding a shade over the equipment that I haven't had in 23 years because I don't want my new RJ45 cell to get foggy either.
